Editor's Notes
- Experiment: walk into the room….looking nervously around…..go to the door—look out….come back in—look around….look at my watch…wring my hands Introduce myself smiling…blah, blah, blah Talk to your neighbor about your perception of what might be happening. How did it make you feel? How did you react? What were you thinking when you found out it was part of the presentation?
- By using photos as a part of your instruction, you are providing opportunities for your students to communicate in a variety of ways where their ability to speak, read, or write in English can be developed in a non-threatening, really fun environment. Photography can be utilized….
- Seeing the world through your students’ eyes will move them through the levels much faster. Even the most basic concepts must be broken down (especially for your level 1 and 2 learners) in a way that the student can understand in order to build background knowledge.
- Abstract concept of Perception First of all, what is perception? Looking at these letters, what words can you think of to complete this acrostic that show that you understand the meaning of “perception”? Level 1 & 2 Learners: Words Level 3 &4 Learners: Make the words into a complete sentence Level 5 & 6 Learners: Expand on your sentence by explaining what you mean by it.
- Is it a vase or face? Optical illusions can help students visually understand how we see things can affect our perception. In social situations, our perception of other people, our surroundings, what we see, hear, smell, taste, or feel can form our reality.

Researched number of words per day of women and men… Is it a vase or face?

- Cultural perception
- Pauk Ekman, an emeritus professor at the University of California at San Francisco. Born in 1934, relentlessly worked on emotions and Facial expressions, now considered as one of the most eminent psychologists of this era. He is master face reader with tremendous knowledge of nonverbal behavior and interpersonal deception. Paul explored that few basic facial expressions and their corresponding emotions are independent of culture and universal to all humans and preemptively biological as hypothesized by Charles Darwin. Paul reported facial microexpressions that could be used to reliably detect concealed emotions. CIA and FBI is seriously implementing his ideas in lie detection while interviewing terrorists, criminals. His greatest contribution is Facial Action Coding System, is the most exhaustive analysis of all the facial expressions. According to Paul, the basic facial expressions with distinct facial signals are SADNESS SURPRISE ANGER CONTEMPT DISGUST FEAR HAPPINESS
